Shaquille O’Neal busted out “dance” moves to beat LeBron James and Dwight Howard in 2007
It’s been 15 years since Shaquille O’Neal destroyed LeBron James and Dwight Howard in a dance duel! Yes, you read that right, a dance!
The NBA during the 2000s was perhaps a time when fun and entertainment was in the air. Everything about that decade reminds us that despite the seriousness, there was an element of calm. While championships can be of great value, we fondly remember the antics players pulled during this decade.
It also marked the beginning of the 2010s, a decade in which the league became even less serious and the aura of the ’90s simply faded. So it’s only right to look back to the 2000s and perhaps one of the most iconic off-court moments of the decade, a dance.
Yeah, we can’t believe we’re saying that too, but the 2007 All-Star Game was something else and especially the practice session, where Shaquille O’Neal decided he had enough, that he was going to beat LeBron James… twerking.

LeBron James has the moves, but Shaquille O’Neal is clearly a trained dancer!
Judging by the moves LeBron displayed, the man knew how to dance! And he’s not afraid of Shaq’s challenge. He goes straight to the Lakers legend.
However, O’Neal is unfazed and performs a wide range of moves, including a twerk! Yes, twerking was common even during the 2000s.
Shaq dance, which routine gets your vote?

Note that Shaq also did a dance show with the legendary Jabbawockeez just a few years later. So you can tell that he was already preparing for it and sent King James without worrying. He even took on Dwight Howard next and brushed him aside with ease. The undisputed king of the dance floor, Shaquille O’Neal.
